The ones made in Sweden were only shipped to the military and not to the civilian population. The 'Made in Sweden' markings with No 5 digit prefix only applies to the M2's, not any other Aimpoint models.Īimpoint sent production of the M2's overseas when they were contracted by the government as they were unable to keep up with production. I also read this! So not all are usgi property! The comp m2 in question clearly starts with a 6 prefix and not a 5 as stated by the mod: If you can spot any other difference with the newer batch sight, please let us know in the comments section.Point received I want to thank all of the fellow members for saving my ass! That's why I ask! However, this will certainly disappoint those who have bought their MRO but did not get the latest batch from the factory. This is certainly a welcoming update, since the slight magnification is one of the most frequent complaints for this sight. The registered trademark symbol after MRO has been updated from ™ to ®. In addition, the sight is now 2.3 grams heavier and a thicker rim close to the rear window.

The blue tint on the newer MRO has been subdued slightly, meaning the lens coating has been updated and improved, providing more accurate color reproduction. We are able to confirm this with a MRO in the serial # 92,000 range against one in the 5000 range with the photos below. They confirmed that the sight they received with newer serial number does indeed have no magnification, although it is hard to notice immediately with the naked eye. Responding to customer feedback Trijicon adjusted the magnification in MROs with a serial number of 89,000 or higher to have a magnification of 1.00x or no magnification.Īccording to a vendor posting in.

The Trijicon MRO Manufactured before Serial number 89,000 did have a very slight magnification of 1.05x which is within the range of competitive reflex-style sight.

However, we noticed Trijicon’s website under the MRO FAQ section has been updated with the following: While offering a larger 25mm objective size, the MRO does exhibit slight magnification at 1.05x.Īn industry associate met with Trijicon at the NASGW Expo last month and was told there is no foreseeable update to the MRO line of products. First introduced in 2015, it is a direct competitor to the industry leading Aimpoint Micro T2. There has been some recent chatter in the industry of an updated Trijicon MRO red dot sight.
